US President Donald Trump on Feb. 3 delayed the start of 25% tariffs on neighbour Canada for a month after making a similar move in Mexico’s case. This comes after Ottawa struck a last-minute deal to tighten border measures against the flow of migrants and the drug fentanyl.The move seems to have pulled the North American neighbours back from the brink of a potentially damaging trade war. Following last-minute phone calls with Canadian PM Justin Trudeau, Trump said he was “very pleased” and was announcing a 30-day halt on the tariffs. Trump also agreed to halt tariffs on Mexico following a deal that was struck over a phone call with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum on Feb. 3. n18oc_world n18oc_crux0:00 INTRODUCTION3:30 SHEINBAUM’S ‘MASTERFUL’ APPROACH GETS PRAISED4:36 CANADA TO DEPLOY 10,000 GUARDS TO SECURE US BORDER6:38 CHINA, EU STILL IN TRUMP CROSSHAIRS?
